🛒 Ingredients

✓ 3/4 cup cornmeal (fine or medium grind)
✓ 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
✓ 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
✓ 1/4 tsp baking soda
✓ 1/4 tsp sea salt
✓ 2 tbsp honey
✓ 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
✓ 3 tbsp plain Greek yogurt (0% fat)
✓ 2 large egg whites
✓ 1/2 cup whole milk mixed with 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
✓ 1 tbsp unsalted butter (for honey butter)
✓ 1 tbsp raw honey
✓ 1/4 tsp fleur de sel
✓ Zest of 1/2 lemon (optional, adds brightness)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Preheat & Prepare: Heat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly coat a small 6-inch cast-iron skillet or 8×6 baking dish with cooking spray. Place skillet in oven to warm while you prepare the batter.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and sea salt. Set aside.

3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk honey, melted butter, and Greek yogurt until smooth. Add egg whites one at a time, whisking gently to incorporate without deflating. Stir in the milk and almond milk blend.

4. Fold Together: Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Fold gently with a rubber spatula until just combined—do not overmix. A few small lumps are fine; overmixing toughens the crumb.

5. Bake: Carefully remove hot skillet from oven. Pour batter into the center. Bake for 22–25 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.

6. Cool & Make Honey Butter: While cornbread cools for 5 minutes, whisk together softened butter, honey, fleur de sel, and lemon zest (if using) in a small bowl until creamy.

7. Divide & Serve: Turn cornbread out onto a cutting board. Cut into 2 equal wedges or squares. Top each serving with a dollop of honey butter while warm so it melts slightly into the crumb.
